Catamaran power?

[bgbdwlf2500]

I'm working on the graupner sytems boat I got and dont know what to power it with. I'm thinking about just going vxl. Boat is 34" long and 10" wide. All abs plastic, not much weight. Any opinions?

The VXL setup should be fine. You can always change props to suit your preference.

Ever get this build off the ground? I just pulled mine out of the dust and the hull is falling apart. Currently trying to find a new hull or making a new fiberglass one

Hey, no problem, it happens a lot. If he shows up in another 6 years or so, I'll give you a shout out.

I would say an Arrma BLX 185 system is better for the price.

Yeah but...it wouldn't be the same to just buy a kit and put it together. This is gonna be kind of a major project but a fun one and I'll be able to enjoy seeing it on the water when finished. Kinda like a...taking me back to my childhood kinda thing and also giving me a new project to work on kinda thing...

I wouldn't call the BLX 185 system a kit. It is just an budget ESC and motor that packs a good punch upto 6s. The motor goes for around $44.00 on eBay and can throw down with $120+ motors.

Really.......?. May have to look at that one anyway. Thanks for the heads up!!

I'll be looking at those items as soon as my body is built and painted
